parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 25 cm on a side and 1.0 mmapart. The capacitor is connected to a 50.0-V ba

ttery. With the battery still connected,the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2.00 mm. What are the energies stored inthe capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart? Why does the energydecrease even though work is done in separating the plates.

Answer:

6.9 x 10^-7 J  

3.5 x 10^-7 J

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The energies stored in the capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart  

<u>List the Knowns: </u>

Voltage of the battery: V = 50 V

Area of the plates: A = 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625 m^2

Original distance between the plates: d = 1 mm = 10^-3 m

New distance between the plates: d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

Permittivity of free space: ∈o = 8.85 x 10^-12 C^2/Nm^2-

<u>Set Up the Problem:   </u>

Capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:  

C=∈o*A/d

Energy stored in a capacitor:  

U_c=(1/2)*V^2*C

<u>Solve the Problem:   </u>

<u>Before the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/10^-3 = 5•53 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 5.53 x 10^-10= 6.9 x 10^-7 J  

<u>After the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/2*10^-3 = 2•77 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 2•77 x 10^-10 = 3.5 x 10^-7 J  

The energy decrease because the capacitance decrease, so the stored charge decrease and transferred to the battery

How would the weight of a 7-kilogram concrete block compared to the weight of a 7-kilogram metal sphere?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

C. The block and the sphere would have the same weight.

Explanation:

If both the block and the sphere weigh 7 kilograms then they have the same weight. They may look different, but they both weigh 7 kilograms.

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0
padilas [110]

Answer: T= 715 N

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the swinging mass, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r

At the moment that the mass be released, it wil continue moving in a straight line at the same tangential speed that it had just an instant before, which is the same speed included in the centripetal force expression.

So the kinetic energy will be the following:

K = 1/2 m v² = 15. 0 J

Solving for v², and replacing in the expression for T:

T = 1.9 Kg (3.97)² m²/s² / 0.042 m = 715 N

You drop a ball at 27 feet high. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?
ivolga24 [154]

Ball will hit the ground after a time of 1.296 s

Explanation:

initial velocity of ball= Vi=0

g= 9.8 m/s²

height =h= 27 ft=8.23 m

using the kinematic equation

h= Vi t + 1/2 gt²

8.23=0(t) + 1/2 (9.8)t²

t²=1.6796

t=1.296 s

3. Suppose that a block is pulled 16 meters across a floor. What amount of work is done if the force used to drag the block is 2
Nadusha1986 [10]

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance.

W = F×d

W = (22 N) × (16 m)

W = 352 J
